Well Wednesday turned out to be another beautiful fall day with cool temps in the morning and bright blue warm skies by the afternoon which had the bees and bugs in full activity. We had the windows and doors open in the afternoon but as evening approached it was cooling down once again and Nancy had the heat on overnight. Next week is supposed to bring more cooler temps but with the bright sunshine and blue skies, I say bring it on as long as its not wet and overcast. Well it looks as if we will be here at least through the 3rd of November due to this convection oven problem. It seems the man who took the report failed to pass it along to the correction company after they never arrived on Wednesday which was planned or scheduled; so now its November, oh well. We were originally planning on leaving that week as well, so no big deal.
I started the day out with a 7'ish rollout because its still black outside at 6 and we have been burning the late evening oil with games after supper and once again last night was no exception until 9'ish with 2 game of OH--ELL. What a raucous game which is fast and there is some skill to how you play the game but luck does depend on a lot on how you bid. The boys won both games once again. I did my morning routines and then headed out for my solo hike to the top of the mountain. The sunrise was beautiful and blinding as you come up through the woods. I had my talk with GOD giving thanks and then venting about the conditions our nation is facing with this inept and corrupt administration, praying HE will do something to save US(A).
I worked outside after a lite breakfast of an apple which I must get back to having to start the day after downing a handful of vitamins and supplements initially. I'm doing as much as possible outside with company here but next week I'll put up the fences around the hydrangeas to keep the deer away and the black raspberry patch and hopefully get a load of manure from Kimberly's barn for the gardens. I cleaned up around the wood pile and restacked the wood before lunch. After a leftover deer burger I settled into reading the Jeff Shaara book on the Korean War which is a real page turner and based on historical archives. What a read and it should make every patriot proud of those who fought in this cold climate and never forget those who gave so much.
I grilled a marinated London Broil for fajitas for our supper along with fresh green peppers from the garden and onions. There was yellow rice and black beans as well and the Botbyl's picked up an apple pie from Becca's in Sparta for dessert and Kathryn made homemade whipped cream for the toppings. What a feed. Kathryn also made 44 jalapeno poppers for todays cook out from my garden plants as well which is a chore but oh so good, LATER
